Thank you all so much for your lovely messages to get well, my face is healing very well. Val d'Argent ended with a night mare. On Sunday I received a telephone call that my husband had an accident with his bike. He has broken his neck, and is in a university hospital in Rotterdam. Fortunately things look better than a couple of days ago. But I am taking a blog break for a while.....

Accident

Even een paar dagen niets van mij gehoord. Ik heb maandag een ongelukje gehad waarbij ik flinke brandwonden heb opgelopen, vooral op mijn rechterarm en in mijn gezicht. Zodoende heb ik niet veel gedaan. Morgen zou ik vertrekken naar Val dÁrgent, samen met Elke dus het komt eigenlijk niet zo goed uit (maar wanneer wel zou je zeggen) De dokter heeft mijn arm stevig ingepakt en ik hoef pas dinsdag op controle terug, dus we gaan toch. Ik moet alleen zoveel mogelijk uit de zon blijven, en daar had ik eigenlijk nou net veel behoefte aan :-(

You didn't hear from me for a couple of days. I had a small accident on monday and I got some heavy burns, especially on my right arm and my face. So I couldn't do much the past days. Tomorrow I should go to Val dÁrgent, together with Elke, so this doesn't come convenient (but when does it) The doctor wrapped my arm very firmley and I have to back on tuesday, so we are going anyway. I only have to stay out of the sun, and that was one thing I really needed :-(

Freedom

I can show you the work from Freedom, that came back from the exhibition now. These works are based on the contrast between Rich and Poor. If you are rich, it looks that you have more Freedom, but to keep that social status....are you really free?

By the way, the threads between the first one are all stitched by machine and the fabrics are also handmade...

And more quilting.....

Stitching

It looks a bit quiet at my blog but actually I am working really hard. I did a lot of stitching today, and I am still not done with it. I can't tell you at the moment which way I am going. I have an idea in my head, but I am not sure how to work it out. I tell you all about it later....
